We had deadline for one special activity today. While one may consider that the regular health exercise is designed for our own benefit, the special activities are to reach out to the larger section of the society. The day before yesterday we received mail from some of the student members. They requested to extend the deadline after mid-sem. exam. to come up with a full-hearted performance. They are now somewhat occupied with class tests and preparation for mid-sem. exam.
We immediately conveyed to all about the deadline extension. This is not to say that service to community can wait. We told ourselves the following.
We want all of us to do well academically. This is not being selfish if we think that a better result will lead us to a greater position which in turn will give us greater power to serve the community. The capacity building - a healthy body and mind, a brilliant academic result are for whom? It is to be of use to all and not just for own self. Therefore, let us give our best for the exam. with right motivation behind us. Let us then give our best to special activities which can also test ourselves, as we approach them, if we are doing fine on the motivation part.
We expressed our deep appreciation of the effort of our fellow students in NSS, another EAA program of similar student strength, as found in their blog posts ( Link).
Today, Mr. Sudhir Kumar, P.T.I., Gymkhana, IIT Kharagpur conducted the training (Video Link 1, Video Link 2).
